Abstract: 
Sleep-related disorders, with a particular emphasis on obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), exert a substantial impact on the overall well-being of affected individuals. Based on collaborative efforts across diverse disciplines, dental sleep medicine, orchestrated by dentists, assume a crucial role in the identification of these disorders through routine examinations, where they keenly discern indicative cues. The incorporation of dentistry into the realm of sleep medicine paves the way for fresh avenues in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of sleep-related breathing disorders. This multidisciplinary approach not only augments the quality of sleep but also bolsters overall well-being. As research continues to advance, dental sleep medicine is poised to assume a pivotal role in catering to the diverse needs of individuals grappling with these disorders.
